Friend says I'll hook you up. I go down to used car lot, first time doing this (normally I buy cars online). Walk around, see some fine rides, but no internet signal. I get over to the PT cruiser at $6,500. It seems OK. Owner (not friend) says buy it. I say no, must research, duh... He then calls me out in front of everyone, name your price (pussy) and maybe you buy it right now, any price.

I get intimidated. I say $3,500. He says ok. Check Kelly Blue Book later, value was $2,800 FUCK. Then, I'm trying to sell the car, no buyers - and it's a stick shift. I'm driving in the rain, almost run red light - slam on breaks and switch gears to stop ultrafast - 40 mph to 0 mph in 20 feet. Car behind me slams me. I got a huge bong in the car, made to hose down four people.

I'm dazed. I've used bong just one time, FUCK. I think quick, take bong across the street dump it behind an alley. Return, cops show up. People who hit me say, "This idiot was stopping for the Red light!!! You always run red lights when it rains!" They got 6 people in the car, 2 adults 4 children, none in seatbelts, none hurt. Cop rules in my favor. I'm still dazed, and quiet. Cops say one last thing.

What do you know about this? Shows 4-hose bong. I shut my goddamn mouth. He says kid saw you stash it and told us, it's yours right? I shut the fuck up. I say, sure, they got a box, can't prove it's mine. I look at the box. It's the box it came in. Has my address on it and everything FUCK.

I get retired judge lawyer. Pay him $300, they drop all the charges - nothing. I get insurance money, $4,500.

Golden rule, when a sales person is pushing really hard and asks you to name a price, the answer is always $1.00. They will get offended and pissed off but simply tell them you now have a high end price, theirs, and a low end price, yours, now we can negotiate.

Most if the time they will walk off as you seem like a waste of time but you get room to breath and think.

I think the envy comes from the fact that Jews tended to be successful by sticking together and profiting at the expense of others, money lending, slum lords etc. By setting themselves apart (necessary for the culture to survive), profiting at others expense then claiming to God's chosen is always going to end badly.

You only answer with glib deflections, stereotypes become stereotypes for a reason, I think we can agree that there is enough evidence of my examples to remove them from being untrue. I am simply pointing out historical facts that may have led to issues, good or bad, they are simply what happened and continues to happen.

Girl makes a really bad mistake? No tip. Guy doesn't follow direction despite agreeing to because he's a prima-donna? No tip. Artist misrepresents their talent and delivers a sub-expectation tattoo? No tip.

Those aren't "no tip." Those are, "i'm going to fucking sue you if you don't fix this shit"

And even if the transgressions were less, it's still no hedge against them, as you're already paying $150/hr. Your tipping, or lack thereof, is not a significant portion of their income from the session.

Speaking for usps... You'd understand if you could hear the supervisor screaming "a package every 3 minutes" all day or we have a line of people to replace you. I know carriers who carry a bucket to use a bathroom in the truck. Breaks or lunch...no. Eat while you drive. Work 12 hours and do that 6 straight days then get told you're delivering Amazon all day Sunday. When you hear workers going postal or dumping mail or packages in a river .. I understand.

I am over 50 and remember when we all worked 9 to 5 with a bit of over time occasionally, no laptops and mobiles meant we didn't work from home and take calls after hours, that was less stressful. Maybe companies just need to hire 5 people to do a 5 person job and stop giving staff 60 hours of work to do in a 40 hour work week.

I think you will find they do all worship the same God, the Mormons think there are 3 separate ones but the Father is the same as Allah and the Christian/Jewish god. This is why Muslims see Jesus as a prophet not the son of God.

You look very beautiful, congratulations. I felt like the image could be cropped a bit so I hope you don't mind (I hid the wires too). EDIT: Thank you for silver, anonymous Redditor! EDIT: And a gold! Thank you.

There are caterpillars that have spines that have a toxin that makes it feel like someone poured acid on your skin. So, just be careful. Especially with some of the furrier caterpillars. Just touching some can be enough. I heard a story from someone who had one drop out of tree and hit her face and arm on the way down, and she said that’s what it felt like, that someone had put acid on her, she still had some scars on her cheek and forearm.

Surprisingly it's culture dependent, there was a study that found during war most western soldiers actually shoot to miss, there were two types that shot to kill, one were sociopaths and the others were reluctant heroes that understood they were killing but over came their aversion for the good of the group. Most Asian soldiers had far less reluctance to shoot to kill.
